1. Italian and Neighboring Alps: Signs and Symbols of Oriental and Jewish Origin

1802. 3. Books Received. "Decorations Found in Traditional Artisan Craftwork in the Alps. Signs and Symbols of Oriental and Jewish Origin" by Ivan Magistrini, 2011, Switzerland. This work consists mainly of hundreds of photographs with accompanying text in Italian. It is quite impressive. Only 40 copies have gone out as part of a special initial printing. We are honored to have been chosen to receive a copy. We will speak more of the book later.

1803. 3. More About the Alpine Artisan Craftwork Book. Re "Decorations Found in Traditional Artisan Craftwork in the Alps. Signs and Symbols of Oriental and Jewish Origin" by Ivan Magistrini, 2011, Switzerland.

This work was sent to us accompanied by a letter in French: In rough (possibly inaccurate) translation it said:

Dear Mr Davidiy, This week I found your site and your address. You have had the privilege of becoming, like myself, one of the Guardians of the Ark of Israel. I am sending you a copy of the first edition of my research. "Decorazioni dell'arigianato tradizionale delle Alp: Segni e simboli di origine orientale ed ebraica/ Decorations Found in Traditional Artisan Craftwork in the Alps. Signs and Symbols of Oriental and Jewish Origin".

This edition, in limited numbers (ca. 40 copies) was intended for friends and institutions chosen by the author of this work. Mr Davidiy, please accept my most respectful salutations.

Ivan Magistrini

PS. A strange thing: The symbol of your site (the rose), is also on the Coat of Arms of my family Magistrini that you may find on the last page of my book!

Brit-Am Comments: The last page does show a red rose (and not a red and white one like ours) with five petals each divided into two (i.e. 10 altogether) and five green leaves. It is similar to the Brit-Am rose.

This work consists mainly of hundreds of photographs with accompanying text in Italian. It will take us some time to go through it.

From quickly leafing through it seems quite impressive and convincing. The work is very well done.

It seems to show that from pre-Roman times up until the present the Alpine regions of Italy and Switzerland used symbols and designs that were also known in Ancient Israel and the East. =============================== ===============================2. Rabbi Pinchos: Different Philosophical Approaches of Judah and Joseph

The Future Unification of the Two Philosophies. The Approach of Judah believes in self-abnegation, that of Joseph in self -assertion through merit. In the future the two approaches will combine into one. This is symbolized by the joining of the two stick in Ezekiel 37. The approach of Judah is the more correct and it will receive the main emphasis. We need to rely on the mercies of Heaven and submit absolutely to the Will of the Almighty. Nevertheless, the position of Joseph is also needed. Through efforts and strivings we may merit to draw closer to the Divine Presence. Both approaches are required and the optimum reality embodies a combination of the two. "...and they will be one in My hand" (Ezekiel 37:19).

=============================== ===============================3. Proof from Astronomy for Brit-Am Concerning Megalithic Monuments? 1874.2. New Article. Slow-Down Planet? Is the Year Now longer?http://www.britam.org/Year360.html A New Research Breakthrough Thanks to Velikovsky??? Or A Wild Goose Chase? by Yair Davidiy.http://britam.org/now2/1874Now.html#2 Extracts: There is a trail recognized by Archaeology of Megalithic Monuments stretching from the Land of Israel to the West. Jeremiah tells us to use the existence of the Megalithic Monument Trail as Proof to Bring the Ten Tribes Home!

Jeremiah 31:21 "Set yourself up stone monuments [menhirs, dolmens] and high heaps of stones [cairns] [i.e. Megalithic monuments!]. Set your heart towards the prepared way: The way in which you went. Turn back o virgin of Israel, return unto these cities of yours."

We have however proof that these Monuments were constructed in the Late Bronze and Iron Ages and date from after the Ten Tribes were exiled! Present-day dating methods are mistaken.

Megalithic Monuments according to very very many researchers were aligned according to astronomical phenomenon.

There are those who quote the Bible as indicating that there was once a 360-day year.

Velikovsky says that:

# THE REFORMING OF THE CALENDAR In the middle of the eighth century the calendar then in use became obsolete. From the year -747 until the last of the catastrophes on the twenty-third of March, -687, the solar and lunar movements changed repeatedly, necessitating adjustments of the calendar. Reforms undertaken during this time soon became obsolete in their turn, and were replaced by new ones; only after the last catastrophe of -687, when the present world order was established, did the calendar become permanent. #

Velikovsky said that in about 700 BCE there occurred a change in the length of year from 360 days to the present 365.

If this is true and the megalithic monuments were indeed exactly astronomically aligned then in most cases they COULD NOT have been erected before 700 BCE!

It may be that the explanations and astronomical theories of Velikovsky but that fact-wise concerning the change in length of year he was correct. That is all we need.

At this state in our journey we are not about to learn new sciences and delve into ancient records of astronomical phenomena that few can understand and that are difficult to explain. Chances are however that others have already done part of this work and more will be done in future for other reasons. We shall keep our eyes open and if there is truth in this direction, God willing, it shall be made known to us. =============================== ===============================4. 90% of Jews today are Either in Countries of the Ten Lost tribes or in the State of Israel! 3. New Article. Statistics: World Jewish Populations and the Ten Tribes. http://www.britam.org/stats/Jews.html Extracts: The Jews descend mainly from Israelites who once dwelt in the Kingdom of Judah. The Jews also include minority elements from the Ten Tribes. The Khazars who converted to Judaism were descended from Jews who had assimilated and from part of the Ten Tribes. In the statistics below we see the populations of Jews throughout the world. Today most Jews either dwell in the State of Israel or in nations dominated by descendants of Israelites from the Ten Tribes.

The USA (representing Manasseh and Joseph) is especially important in this regard.

We see from the above that less than 10% of the Jewish Population today dwells in what we would term non-Israelite countries. 42.5% dwell in the Land of Israel. 39.3% in Manasseh-Joseph (the USA). 6.34% dwell in Ephraim countries (UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand). 12% dwell in Israelite Nations that are not dominated by Joseph (either Ephraim or Manasseh). =============================== ===============================5. Circumcision in the West Today and Israelite Ancestry (b) Further Comment by Esther: Greek Christians Would Murder Circumcised Children!http://britam.org/now3/1893Now.html#7 Well Put! Most of us do say "it's not [the ALMIGHTY]s time" Perhaps there will be a day when doors open. I have found that most of us would say we are of Hebrew or Israelite descent, but when asked are you a JEW, feel cautious to respond "yes", for ...that may be only the tribe of Judah. Also all of our families view [the Christian Messiah] as Messiah and many have said if you believe like that you are no longer JEWISH. We feel if we are HEBREW, we are HEBREW. One thing I have noticed, is "follow the circumcision trail". Most of the Hebrew people were renamed Gentiles, but are militant about circumcising, because that's what's always been done in their families for thousands of generations. Gentiles (Japeth's lineage) don't circumcise. Here in the states, that's a big deal. If you are white and uncircumcised, it is considered somewhat unusual. The Universal Church was determined to change their identity. If they could force the people to abandon all Hebrew practices, they would be more loyal to the new religion. I read that in some Greek villages if a child was found circumcised both he and his mother were killed, because this was carrying on the Hebrew tradition. Thanks Again for all your hard work and research. Many of the people in our fellowships have enjoyed your teachings!

Our Books

The "KHAZARS" were a semi-nomadic people who became prominent in southern Russia and its neighborhood in the 600s to 900s CE. They were quite powerful with a far-reaching influence and well-developed civilization.

The Blessings in the Bible given to the Children of Israel were epitomized most strongly in the Tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. Ephraim dominates Britain and her daughters, Manasseh is pre-eminent in the USA.

Chosen People
The Ancient Celts and related peoples referred to themselves as Hebrews.The inhabitants of Britain pertained mainly to clans belonging to Joseph. The Jews need to believe in the God of Israel and keep the Torah.
